Validation. After months of practicing, and over a year of daydreaming, I will soon be a real derby girl with a real team. Myself and my fellow fresh meaties scrimmaged for an hour last night, giving veteran members of the league a chance to evaluate skills like endurance, hitting, and speed control. To my great delight, I passed the test with flying colors! In order to really grasp how exciting this is for me, you have to understand that I am notorious for dreaming up new hobbies, only to lose interest almost immediately. Sticking with this- actually following through on something that takes so much time and energy- it’s an achievement for me.

I can’t wait to hear the results of the draft on Tuesday! xoxox
